VANITY 941 1 Application ii q's fember 25, i 25, s rial 58 5 72 The invention relates to an improyement in vanity boxes of the type comprising a box proper or shell enclosing a mirror and one or more compartments or spaces for a powder compact, a rouge compact and the pads or puffs for applylng the powder and r get, j.

The object of the intention s to produce an improv v y b x vthe e 'Q yp the parts of which are so constructed and arranged that the parts fit fsnugly together thereby giving increased capacity 1 n a box of decreased thickness. further obJect of the invention is to mount the mirror in such a Way that the entire interior of both 'sections of the box may be exposed at one time. To these ends the invention consists in the improved vanity box hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims. u

The improved vanity box as illustrated in the drawings comprises a bottom section 10 and a top section 11 hinged together at 12'. The bottonrsection 10 comprises a dished bottom 14 and an upright cylindrical portion 15 joined to the rim of the bottom 14 I a flange. The top section 11 comprises a dish-shaped top 16 and a cylindrical flange portion 17 joined to the edge 18 of the top 16 and depending downwardly therefrom when the box is in closed condition. The twolparts or sections of the box are held closed niea'n sof the usual snap catch 19.

W 25 of the ring is. ovide'd with the spring sections 26 eaap'teii to ngage with and held the compacts; place, as is usual in these constructions.

Inth'e improved Vanity boxof the present invention I employ novel method lot mounting the mirror 28 so that when the is open position the entire interior, or substantially the entire interior, of each section of the box is exposei by yvhich an r'aingement the rougeor porvder contained in e tWo i sections available for i use Without moving the partition wan, which is usually a' mirror, to uncover one kind of powder or Themirror 28 is so mounted as to be swung on aplane parallel With! the planel o f the top section ll of box. For this purpose the disk-like casing 29m which th m rror g lsar' os d is pin-al y meeh its centr point on an 31 pivoted-in t n-P te Sestio'n pr i t i e w rd y from the uppersurfacegof the ring'2ln. The

i 2 and 5) of the disk 29.

31 is pivotally connected with the mirrorsupporting disk 29 is depressed or dishshaped, as indicated. at 33 in Fig. 7, for the purpose of accommodating the boss formed by the depressed central portion 34: (Figs. These parts are depressed or dish-shaped so that when the hollow rivet 35 projecting upwardly from the depression 33 in the arm 31 is inserted through the central hole 36 in the disk 29 and is flanged over the edge of the hole 36, as indicated at 37 in Fig. 5, the flange 37 will occupy a lower plane than the surface of the disk 29 upon which the mirror 28 rests, and so will not injure the mirror. These parts are shown in an upside down position in Fig. 5. The words denoting direction have reference to the positions of the parts shown in Figs. 1 and 2, which are the positions of the parts when the box is open and in condition for use. The hollow rivet 38 which is disposed in the opposite direction from the rivet 35 is adapted to pass through the hole 39 in the plate or support section 32 of the ring 21 and to be headed over as the flange 40 on the under surface of the plate 32. The distance be tween the axes of the hollow rivets 35 and 38 is substantially the same as the distance "from the center of the hole 39 to the center of the ring 21, thus permitting the mirror (which is of substantially the same diameter as the ring 21) to swing into alignment with the ring.

The pivotal connections between the mirror 28 and its support in the ring 21 are conducive to strength so that the mirror may be swung repeatedly into open position with respect to the top section 11 of the box, as shown in Fig. 1, without liability of detachment or the breaking of any of the parts. lVhen the parts of the improved vanity box have been assembled, as described above, with a compact 23 of rouge orpowder held in the top section 11 of the box by means of the ring 21, the pad or puff 12 is placed over the compact and then the mirror 28 is swung laterally so that its side edges are received within the cylindrical portion 17 of the section 11, as shown in Fig. 5. The two sections of the box may then be folded together upon the hinge 12 and secured by the snap catch 19.

lVhen the box is to be opened the section 11 is turned back from the section 10. The box is now in condition for use, the mirror being on one side and the contents of the section 10 being entirely uncovered. It now the user desires to employ the compact 23 separate from or in addition to the contents of section 10 of the box, the mirror 28 will be swung on its hinge to the position shown in Fig. 1. VJhen the box is in this completely opened condition, section 11 will usually occupy an oblique angle with respect to section 10 so as to bring the mirror into a more convenient position for use. WVhen the contents of the box have been used the mirror will be swung back into position over the compact 23 and the box closed in the usual manner.

What 1 claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters -tat-ent, is:

1. A vanity box comprising, a bottom section and a top section hinged together, a ring located in the top section and arranged to hold a powder compact, said ring having a support extending inwardly over the opening formed by the ring, and a mirror connected with the said support on the ring and arranged to swing in a plane parallel with the plane of the ring.

2. A vanity box comprising, a bottom section and a top section hinged together, a ring adapted to hold a powder compact l cated in the upper section, said ring having an inwardly projecting support, an arm pivoted at one end on the support, a mirror supporting disk pivoted on the other end of the arm, and a mirror supported on the disk, the arrangement of said pivots permitting the mirror to swing in a plane parallel with the plane of the upper section of the box.

3. A vanity box comprising, a bottom section and a top section hinged together, a ring adapted to hold a powder compact located in the top section, said ring having a support, an arm pivoted at one end in the support, the other end of the arm having a depression, a disk having a central boss adapted to be received in the depression in the arm, a rivet by which the arm and disk are pivotally connected, the head of the rivet being received in the depression by which the boss is formed, and a mirror supported on the-disk above tne head of the rivet.

at. A vanity box comprising, a bottom section and a top section hinged together, a ring adapted to hold a powder compact located in the top section, said section having a supportprojecting inwardly from its upper surface, an arm pivoted at one end by a rivet to the support, the other end of the arm being provided with a hollow rivet the bottom of which is surrounded by a depression, a mirror supporting disk having a central boss adapted to be located in the depression in the arm, the rivet on the end of the arm being adapted to project through a hole in the center of the disk, the depression in the disk by which the boss is formed being adapted to receive the head of the rivet below the surface of the disk, and a mirror mounted on the disk.

5. A vanity box comprising, a bottom section and a top section hinged together, a

.ring adapted to hold a powder compact located in the top section, said ring having an inwardly pro ecting pivot support, an arm pivoted at one end to the support, a disk for supporting a mirror pivoted on the other end of the arm, the distance between the axes of the pivots on the arm being substantially the same as the distance from the axis 01" the pivot in the support to the center of the ring so that When the mirror supporting disk is swung over the top section of the box its pivotal mounting on the arm is substantially coincident with the axis of the ring, and a mirror supported on the disk.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aI'iiX my signature.
